CARSON, Calif. – Jack McBean is five years older than when he first joined the LA Galaxy in 2011 as a promising 16-year-old and is at least several pounds of muscle heavier, although he jokingly insisted it was more like “a couple.”
The added weight came in handy for the native of Newport Beach against the big, physical Colorado Rapids on Wednesday at StubHub Center and he acquitted himself well in a 0-0 tie in front of 21,884.
McBean, who signed with the first team earlier in the day and was making his first start with the parent club since October, 2013, kept to his low-key nature by saying he felt he was adequate.
